Top Emperor of Martial Arts

Upon hearing Chu Yan's words, all the disciples laughed coldly and boasted shamelessly. The fifth row of the Purple Bamboo Forest Array was extremely difficult, and it required a lot of effort to break through to the King. But now, Chu Yan said that he could break the Purple Bamboo with just his mental state.    

Zi Yan furrowed her brows. Although her words were harsh, it was also out of good intentions. She hoped that Chu Yan could take things one step at a time and not be greedy for great rewards. However, since Chu Yan could not appreciate her kindness, she coldly snorted and continued her enlightenment.    

Chu Yan seemed to have sensed the strange gazes around him and shook his head with a bitter smile. He secretly sighed that he had said the wrong thing, but he did not explain. He turned around and withdrew his purple bamboo forest. If it was him in the past, he would definitely use all his strength to break the purple bamboo and show off his abilities. However, after the incident in the Haotian Sect, his disposition had changed a little. He did not show his true strength.    

When he left the fifth row, he was already drenched in sweat. King Chu smiled and looked at him. "Junior brother is very powerful. He broke ten purple bamboos on the first day. I think he must have gained some insight."    

"I do have some." Chu Yan nodded his head. This time, the ten purple bamboos had indeed helped him gain a lot of insight, especially the teachings of antecedents. It was very beneficial to him.    

"This is Senior Brother Mu Bai, a seven-year disciple." King Chu nodded his head and introduced him to Chu Yan.    

"Greetings, Senior Brother Mu Bai." Chu Yan looked at Mu Bai and felt a strong wave of Primordial Energy rippling around him, making him sigh in his heart. He had seen a lot of Expert since he started cultivating, but it was rare for someone at Mu Bai's age to have such a cultivation base.    

"Senior Brother Mu Bai is a genius. He was the number one Shengtai three years ago, and he became famous even earlier than Luan Zhiyi. However, he didn't fight for it after he broke through to the King." King Chu said with a smile. Chu Yan suddenly realized what had happened. It turned out that he was also the person who had obtained the first place in the Shengtai.    

Chu Yan suddenly realized that Mu Bai had also obtained the number one spot on the Shengtai. At this time, Su Muyan smiled again and said, "Brother Mu Bai, you have to be careful. I, Chu Yan, am very powerful. You did not encounter the Shengtai, but two years later, Wandong Grand Ceremony... Disciples are allowed to enter within ten years. There are even some who entered the sect early. Eleven years and twelve years are fine. When the time comes, all of you will be his opponents. "    

Mu Bai smiled faintly. He was also a sword-wielding man, and he looked very confident and at ease. He was worthy of Swordsman's name. "This is a good thing. The stronger my Tiandao Sect is, the better. Two years later, I will fight for supremacy. "    

"You guys can have a chat. I will challenge the purple bamboo forest and see if I can break the second purple bamboo forest in the fifth row today." King Chu was eager to challenge the purple bamboo forest because of Chu Yan. Only Chu Yan and Mu Bai chatted for a while longer before bidding farewell.    

This time, the purple bamboo forest's comprehension was very deep, and Chu Yan needed to digest it.    

The Tiandao Sect was different from the Haotian Sect. All the disciples lived in the same place. It was a row of tile houses. After Chu Yan returned, he calmed down.    

There was hatred in his heart, but this time, Chu Yan understood the word 'endure patiently' even more. It was the revenge of the Haotian Sect. The grudge of the Ice River Sect. The grudge between the Asura Sect and Luan Zhiyi. Crimson Moon Valley, these... He had to find them all one by one. However, his strength today was too low. In the future, although the Vast Heaven Tower was filled with grief because of him, they wouldn't stand up for him. It was only because he was too humble, otherwise, how could he leave in such a sorry state?    

Chu Yan calmed his heart. In the following period of time, he had been cultivating all this time. This time, his cultivation had a huge impact on him. Every word of antecedents's teachings in the Purple Bamboo Forest Array was very pleasing to him. It made his Primordial Energy clearer. Initially, he didn't pay attention to the connection between the Primordial Energy and his bloodline. This time, antecedents's teachings had given him a deep understanding. There was even a vague feeling of integration.    

Unknowingly, Chu Yan had entered a very mysterious state. Here, he was walking alone in the vast starry river. It was quiet and peaceful. Every star seemed to be connected to each other, like an independent world.    

This state lasted for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, Chu Yan's body began to burn. There were cracks on the Dantian, and nine rays of light were connected to each other.    

Nine Stars of the Life body, Achievement Stage! Ninth Layer of Mortal Parting! Peak of the Mortal Parting!    

When Chu Yan opened his eyes again, he was shocked. He had actually broken through? And it was a double breakthrough! He felt that his horizons had changed. So, he could only see things like Primordial Energy, bloodline, and Life body that were restricted. However, at this moment, his horizons were broad, as if he could see something deeper.    

It was almost dusk when Ling'er and Su Muyan came to Chu Yan's residence together. Chu Yan had just woken up at this time. "Why are you guys here?"    

Ling'er saw Chu Yan rolling his eyes and smiled. "What do you mean you are here? Now, you should call me senior sister, do you know?"    

"Uh..." Chu Yan laughed dryly. Ling'er seemed to have a lot of resentment towards him. She was still angry about the last time she rejected the Tiandao Sect. Unfortunately, according to the rules, Ling'er was indeed his senior sister.    

"Yes, senior sister."    

"That's more like it! Forget it, seeing that you are so powerful now, I'll reluctantly forgive you for what happened last time. However, from now on, you'll be my Tiandao Sect's disciple. " Ling'er smiled sweetly. She could be considered one of the people who had witnessed Chu Yan. She was there when she was in the Changlong Country. At that time, the young man had already become an eagle with a pair of big wings.    

"Ling'er just came out from the Mirror Trial. Knowing that you have woken up, she came over to take a look. Today is the competition for the top three in the Grand War. Ling'er is very powerful this year and has made it into the top six." Su Mu said with some displeasure, "It's a pity for Chu Yan. He could have made it to the top this year."    

"Grand War?"    

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. There was also some killing intent in his heart. There were a few battles that he had to fight on the Grand War. Since the Shengtai had not ended yet, it was time for him to return after counting the time.    

"What is the current ranking of the Shengtai?"    

"Chu Yan and Gu Feng have lost their qualifications. Mirror Old Man is ranked thirteenth, and the rest of the rankings have been decided except for the finals. The 11th place was the wild knife. The 10th place is Zhou Ying. The ninth place was Sister Ji Tong! The eighth place is Sister Ji Yun."    

" Sister Ji Yun was supposed to be in the top six, but she was defeated by Li Fengyun. However, Ling'er won against Li Fengyun. Li Fengyun is ranked seventh. The sixth place was Zheng Yutong. The fifth was Ou Chen. The fourth was Ling'er. The third Yao Tong. The top two had yet to be decided. Tomorrow would be the finals. Heavenly King Chen versus Cheng Jiang. This year, the champion would be one of them."    

Chu Yan squinted his eyes. Regarding the Shengtai, he couldn't help but admire the odds of the Transport Workshop. It could be said that their eyes were unique, and they had basically all bet on it. Tomorrow would be a grand election. The most exciting battle for the Shengtai tablet would also attract a lot of attention.    

Chu Yan had a plan. Tomorrow, he would go to the Grand War, as well as the people from the Haotian Sect. It had been a long time since they last saw each other, and they would probably see each other tomorrow.    

After understanding the situation, Chu Yan continued to cultivate. The night passed quickly. The next day, the Mirror Trial was unusually lively. The reason was no different, it was because today was the last battle of the Shengtai.    

Outside the Shengtai tablet, everyone had gathered. The one hundred thousand spectators had all gathered the two highest stone table. Each of these two stone table was a thousand meters tall. Heavenly King Chen had arrived early in the morning. He wore white clothes and stood there with a heavy blade in his hand. It was as if he was announcing to the world that he was a King.    

"It's the finals! I'm so excited!"    

"Yeah, I wonder who will win this year. Is it Cheng Jiang who will be appointed, or Heavenly King Chen who will surpass him?"    

"Right now, neither of them has lost a single battle. Both of them are very strong. The odds for the Transport Workshop are 1: 2. Anyway, I have bet on Heavenly King Chen. If Heavenly King Chen wins the championship, I will be rich. " Discussions continued to be heard in the audience. Below the stage, in the ten thousand lines. Everyone was present. However, Martial King, who was on the Ice River Sect's side, had been replaced by another elder.    

Mirror Old Man slowly took a step forward. Everyone held their breaths, and everyone became excited. Mirror Old Man glanced at the crowd out of the corner of his eye and said, "In the finals, I'll let the two of you fight for it. Let's see who will be able to carve their name on this Shengtai tablet today."    

The mirror image immediately boiled up.    

Cheng Jiang stood on the platform. Heavenly King Chen stood opposite of him. Both of them looked at each other. Cheng Jiang said in a flat tone. "I heard that you are also interested in Lau Qingcheng, that woman?"    

Heavenly King Chen looked at Cheng Jiang and said, "He will be my woman!"    

Cheng Jiang smiled. "It's too early to say that. Let's bet on Lau Qingcheng in today's battle, alright? The loser is not allowed to touch her in the future. After all, she is very beautiful, and only the name of the number one person in the Shengtai can match her. "    

" You won't win! " Heavenly King Chen was too arrogant. He had been a disciple for three years, and now he was asking the head of the platform. This was definitely a record, and it was even more shocking than all the records Chu Yan had created. Today, he said, Cheng Jiang, you won't win.    

Cheng Jiang didn't get angry. He also took out a three-foot-long blade and pointed it at Heavenly King Chen. This battle... Between the two of them... They had bet on Lau Qingcheng.    

Zheng Yutong angrily said from the Tianshan Sect formula. "What do these two Bastard think Junior Sister Qingcheng is? They actually used her as a wager!"    

"But there is no other way. Now that Chu Yan is not around and the Wilderness has fallen into decline, Master seems to have the intention of marrying Qingcheng. It is just that I do not know if he will eventually choose Heavenly King Chen or someone from the Blood Valley." Another female disciple said.    

The battle had begun. Cheng Jiang and Heavenly King Chen made their move. Cheng Jiang was the first to attack. The three-foot-long blade in his hand turned into a palm print. Every strike seemed to be pointing at a sword.    

Heavenly King Chen also attacked immediately. The heavy blade in his hand seemed to have been dyed with blood. It slashed out in the void, and every slash was so powerful that it could crush mountains and rivers!    

Boom!    

When the battle force was unleashed, it shocked everyone present. Each of their attacks was extremely powerful. Cheng Jiang was like a green eagle roaring. Heavenly King Chen was like a blood dragon. Both of them had high attainment in their bloodline, Martial Skills, and flesh. The strong visual impact made the audience cheer.    

"I have waited for a year for this first place position. Today, no one will be able to take away my glory!" Cheng Jiang roared in a low voice. His Qing Feng turned into a palm and thrust it at Heavenly King Chen.    

Heavenly King Chen's eyes were calm. With every slash he made, he would be able to break through Cheng Jiang's Wind Palm and launch a new attack! After a hundred moves, Cheng Jiang became anxious. He was the third place last year, but he was still unable to do anything to Heavenly King Chen even after a hundred moves. However, the more panicked he was, the easier it was for his sword to deviate.    

"There's something wrong with Cheng Jiang's mentality. He is going to lose!" Many of the audience found out what the problem was.    

"Damn it! Impossible!" Cheng Jiang growled. However, in the next moment, Heavenly King Chen's huge blade had already closed in on him, stopping right at his throat. Victory and defeat had already been decided at this moment.    

Everyone below the stage was amazed. Heavenly King Chen had finally won this battle. In the name of a third grade disciple, he had taken first place in the Shengtai tablet! He had broken the record.    

Cheng Jiang froze. He stood there, looking at the blade in disbelief. He was not willing to give up. He hated it. He had waited a year for this day, but he had once again missed the first place in the Shengtai.    

Heavenly King Chen won. He looked at Cheng Jiang and said in a cold voice, "Lau Qingcheng, she is not a woman you can touch! You lost! "    

Cheng Jiang's eyes were red. Two years. It was impossible for him to wait for another year. In other words, he would never have the chance to become the champion. He was not as calm as King Chu. His defeat this time was destined to bring shame to Cheng Jiang's heart of martial arts. If he entered the King in the future, he was afraid that he would not be able to walk far.    

"It has come true! Heavenly King Chen had really won the first place this year! He became the first dark horse this year! "    

After a long time in the audience, it was unknown who was the first to shout out. Then, it caused everyone to boil with excitement. The first place had been born.    

Everyone sighed in their hearts. However, at this moment, a figure appeared. He was so quiet, as if no one had noticed him. He walked forward step by step. Every step was firm, as if it represented a kind of determination. Then, he passed through the ancient path and walked into the Shengtai. Who was that person?    

It was the return of a King!
